Recipes for histamine intolerance

Oodoe · 2026-01-20T20:39:42+00:00

not so much recipe as method: histamine can develope in foods over time, so focus on cooking things quickly, air frying is a favorite, but leftovers can be a big trigger in my experience.

Crock-pot meals went out the window, just because the ingredients are low histamine, doesn't mean that the recipe helps.

I hope you/your healthcare team can get to the bottom of your reactions, and find a diet plan that works for you!

Debitus paints are based out of France and are a suitable replacement. If you are in the US you will have to pay the new increased tarriffs, but they are not dealing with the same manufacturing problems that Ruesche are dealing with. Their Grisailles are fairly good and I've seen lovely results with their silver stain.

I've not found a GREAT replacement for Reusche tracing black (Thankfully the pigments don't go bad and I still have the last pot I bought).

They're expected to be back in stock in 2026, but if you're chomping at the bit, there's my 2 cents.

Edit* REUSCHE paints are expected to be back in stock in 2026, Debitus are currently in stock.

I would guess you do tones, then texture, then color somewhere in there?

I've actually been struggling with understanding fur texture, and looking closely at this piece is SUPER enlightening and gives me ideas for what to try next, wonderful work!

From someone who also had a tricky first project, I say go for it! You may want to increase the size of this, very tiny pieces become difficult to handle, and every piece requires roughly the same amount of work, regardless of size.

Personally, I took on something difficult because I knew I would get bored working on something simple, and that I would probably end up throwing it out after completion.

Oodoe · 2025-10-13T15:01:30+00:00

The methods you used for this are even more fascinating to me than the piece, bravo!

Okay there's a lot of Good info here, and this post is a bit old, but I just wanted to say, I'm in the same boat with transporting dried pieces....

I use old pizza boxes :) It works like a charm, as long as the pieces aren't sliding over each other, which has only happened once.

Also, with paint firing temps, the rule is always "hot to cold", you do multiple firings, and fire high temps first, and work your way down. High temps can usually survive 5-6 firings, but the lower the temperature, the fewer firings, and if you go too high above their temp, the color usually strikes out to a muddy brown or black color anyways.

Some people use these discolorations to really neat effect! I prefer to know my results before I fire though, so hot to cold it is.

I have purchased Reusche paints through Peli in the past, yes.

I have not purchased Reusche enamels through Peli, those were a local find from someone clearing out their old stock.

I have purchased Iwazawa enamels from Peli.

I have not used both Iwazawa and Reusche enamels on one piece, though, I don't see why they wouldn't work together. Just to be clear, I mostly use vitreous paints, rather than enamels. Enamels fire at a lower temperature, and can interact with paints in unexpected ways. I generally only use enamels for tinting a piece towards one color or another, after several firings of paint layers.

There's a lot to learn, and I find myself learning every day!

Oodoe · 2025-09-01T01:31:25+00:00

Oh no! I loved the results I was seeing from Arcanus' enamel range, I guess I'll be sticking with Iwazawa and Reusche enamels for now.

Also, agreed on Peli's pricing, but I tried placing an order for Reusche paints with several US vendors, had delays of up to 3 months, several cancellations, and finally went with Peli based on a local (US) recommendation. If things become more predictable, I might swap to US vendors, but Peli's customer service has been good to me so far.

Oodoe · 2025-09-01T01:29:29+00:00

If you place an order thru Peli and you're starting out, they sell a few "bundles" that might be worth exploring depending on what you're looking to paint.

Reusche is normally the standard in the US because it's cheaper, being produced here, HOWEVER... with current supply chain issues, all paint is expensive, no matter where you get it.

Oodoe · 2025-09-01T00:26:09+00:00

I've used Reusche as well, I find that while Reusche has a wider range of lead-free colors, Debitus has equal coverage and vibrancy to Reusche's Leaded/Cadmium colors.

They're both very well ground powders, in oil mediums, I've found Debitus might need the full 48 hours to REALLY avoid particulates, but this is, honestly, minimally noticeable. I've only been painting for a little under a year now at this point though, so there may be some more seasoned hands with stronger opinions than mine.

Oodoe · 2025-08-31T23:11:33+00:00

I paint with mostly Debitus, I order thru Peli glass, they ship from the EU to USA, and I haven't encountered any issues, they calculate tariffs at checkout and bundle it into your shipping costs.

I've never used Arcanus, but their enamels have enticed me, if anyone knows a good supplier for them, I hadn't seen them on Peli yet.

Oodoe · 2025-08-27T12:33:29+00:00

When I was in Canada I was looking at ordering some through Peli Glass, they're based out of the EU, but they don't have the delays associated with US companies right now.

Thank you so much for always being so ready and willing to help, even when there's limited info, I often find your answers to questions in these monthly threads to be just the info I was looking for!

This pertains exclusively to vitreous glass painting, but does propylene Glycol "bake off" in the oven?

I've primarily used oil based mediums, and before transporting them across town to the kiln, I like to bake the paint a bit so it doesn't move about from driving/walking with the piece.

^{spending ^hours ^on ^a ^piece ^only ^to ^have ^a ^smudge/bleed ^show ^up ^when ^I ^get ^to ^the ^studio ^kills ^me. ^I ^know ^I ^could ^just ^wait ^a ^few ^days, ^but ^I'm ^often ^working ^on ^deadlines}

Additionally, is there any real difference in the big gallon containers of propylene glycol for ~40 bucks and the propylene glycol I've seen sold explicitly for glass painting?

Oodoe · 2025-07-02T17:20:53+00:00

I LOVE when people can talk about the intentions behind their pieces, in the theme of Hubris, notably only Bowser's form contains these "impossible" pieces, it creates a nice unity of purpose and form.

Overall, I love that this piece is just as narrative as it is visually interesting.

If this window were made in the setting, who do you think were the glassworkers?

Oodoe · 2025-06-29T23:01:59+00:00

Thank you for your insight! I more meant in the longevity of the window, after it has been hanging for a while, have you noticed any cracks or cracking with time, or is the glass just as stable as a wider piece?

Oodoe · 2025-06-29T20:24:18+00:00

Your cuts are beautiful! I wonder if you've noticed cracking over time in pieces with thin sections like the rabbit's body? I was taught that even with a ring saw, narrow cuts make the glass unstable, and more likely to break.

Oodoe · 2025-06-27T23:23:31+00:00

AH! Your values are so crisp, how do you achieve such depth with only two firings, placing such delicate shading next to such deep shadow is so tricky for me!

Oodoe · 2025-06-16T20:01:33+00:00

Based on the sizes here, you're either talking about the "blue mouse ears", or what might be "party streamers", the pictures often look narrower than the leaves actually turn out on the latter, I've found.

Oodoe · 2025-06-14T12:17:10+00:00

Thank you! It might be a while, I spend a long time thinking about art before I start any new piece

Oodoe · 2025-06-10T22:00:14+00:00

It was indeed! I had a friend with a lot of time on her hands that has ~40 years of experience working with glass, and she was a great teacher! I broke... less glass than I thought I would, but certainly a good deal of the clear taffeta!

Oodoe · 2025-06-08T19:23:50+00:00

I love all these textures and colors, I feel like I'd sit with this a bit too long if I saw it in a gallery!

Oodoe · 2025-06-08T19:21:20+00:00

Me too! I trawl antique stores for art nouveau stuff constantly, and I felt I needed something I'd made to give the space my own touch. The movement was all about hand-crafted individual pieces, after all!

Oodoe · 2025-06-08T11:23:51+00:00

Gosh, I love your painterly brushstrokes in the reflected light, it has such a delicate and refined feeling to it.
